PHOTOWALK RETREAT ~ DAY 5

Loch Maree was a fantastic experience!! It was a whole day of photographing the some beautiful landscape … we had wind and rain and sunshine and rainbows!! It was amazing!!! There are a couple of interesting walking trails to take around the Loch; a Mountain Trail and a Woodland Trail.

Beinn Eighe
Mountain Trail is Britain’s oldest National Nature Reserve. It was established in 1951 in recognition of its huge importance for wildlife, scenery and geology. By taking the mountain trail, you will experience of all these features.
Woodland Trail is a great way to experience some of Beinn Eighe’s qualities, whatever the season. The Scots pine trees for which the reserve is famed are a constant features, of course. But have you seen their trunks glow orange-red in the evening, or noticed how the bark is patterned like a jigsaw puzzle? Have you heard a crossbill calling from a pine top or noticed the signs a pine marten has crossed a path?
